Four Weddings and a Funeral- Summer 2010


Well its now nearly winterand Ive left it far too long for a seasonal update so here it is, better late than never.
June started summer early with the wedding a my brother in law Nik to his lovely girlfriend Rebecca, it was a boiling hot day with the ceremony at Greystoke Castle, followed by the reception at The Roundthorn Country House Hotel, on the table were glass cake stands with a ring arrangement on the bottom tier and tealights on top, Rebecca carried a small handtied white and green posy which went perfectly with her perfect 1950's style dress. Also in June my grandad died and I was given the chance to do the flowerswhich were a combination of different styles from the traditional to the very contempary including a large coffin spray in reds and yellow and a Seddon-Atkinson wagon badge, which took about 4 hours to make!
July was another busy month with Alex and Jeffs lovely wedding in the garden at Laurel House, we had planned for all weathers apart from wind! which proved to be a bit of a problem with the table cloths and place name settings never mind the vases of flowers!! luckily lots of pebbles frpm the path helped! The flower girls carried lovely little baskets of spray roses, freesias and cornflowers.
